Many companies used to do this. I remember the first time someone on HN commented, "Hey, is it possible this status page is just a useless blog now?" And people were trying to figure it out.
Companies arguably have a contractual obligation to be transparent about this data with their customers anyway, so a company like Github (where such a huge percentage of the industry is a customer) is going to leak the data one way or another.
